HAMPSTEAD, _Feb. 23rd, 1864_.
R. CLAY, SON, AND TAYLOR, PRINTERS, LONDON.
FOOTNOTES:
[216] When my plan was published, the lowest General Post rate was fourpence; but while the plan was under the consideration of Government the rate between post towns not more than eight miles asunder was reduced from fourpence to twopence.
[217] In this comparison of revenue, the mode of calculation in use before the adoption of penny-postage has of course been retained--that is to say, the cost of the packets on the one hand, and the produce of the impressed newspaper stamps on the other, have been excluded. The amounts for 1863 are, to some extent, estimated, the accounts not having as yet been fully made up.
